Abstract:
Objective To study the influence of different starting time of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO)therapy on acute cerebral infarction patients.Methods A total of 120 patients with first-time acute cerebral infarction were randomly and evenly divided into 4 groups:groups A,B,C and D.All the patients were treated with routine clinical regime.In addition,the patients in groups A,B andC started with HBO within 24 hours,between 24 and 72 hours and after 72 hours post-onset of the disease,respectively,while those in group D without HBO.All the patients were evaluated in terms of their neurological function and their perform- ante in activities of daily living,using the National Institutes of Health stroke survey(NIHSS)and Barthel In- dex(BI).Results At 14,28 and 90 davs after treatment,the patients in group A scored significantly better with NIHSS and BI than those in groups B,C and D(P0.05).No serious adverse reaction was found in the four groups.Conclusion The earlier the HBO therapy was started, the better the treatment.There will be no significant effects of HBO if it was started after 72 hours pust-onset of the disease.HBO therapy appears safe.
